Alarm Categories Page
The Alarm Categories page allows you to group alarm events by name. The System comes with 16
generic alarm categories. The alarm categories appear in event reports and classify alarm events.
You can change any alarm category designation (defaults are shown below) to a description that is
better suited to your facility or application.
It is helpful to group alarms points into categories like “Intrusion Alarm” or “Maintenance Alarm”, so
they can be recalled from history by that group, etc.
To navigate the Alarm Categories page from any setup page, click the Alarm Opt. tab button at the
top of the window, or from the main Setup page click the Alarm Options button on the right side of
the page. Then click the Categories tab button and the following page displays.
